****I loathe Pitbull with a passion and while I don't think it's a carbon copy of "Wake Me Up", I really loathe the fact that it's obviously inspired by it. But to my surprise I eventually have found myself enjoying this, although it's in a more guilty pleasure kind of way.

On first listen the first thing that struck me was that harmonica, it sounded incredibly cringeworthy at first but with more familiarity it annoyed me less. Although it still does annoy me a little. Pitbull's rapping is as useless and uninteresting as ever, although it's more tolerable than usual and I didn't notice it until I saw Hijinx's review, the pre-chorus sung by him is actually really catchy. I usually enjoy Ke$ha's music so I'm a bit disappointed she's reduced herself to collaborating with Pitbull on this kind of crud, but her chorus lifts the quality of the song up quite a bit.

Looking at this objectively it's nothing noteworthy or good but I find it fun and enjoyable every time I hear it and it's a guilty pleasure of 2013 for me. I didn't expect it to become one of the biggest hits of 2013 before it charted, but in hindsight it's easy to see why it became a big hit. I was hoping it'd flop because like Hijinx I really don't like the idea of Pitbull scoring another hit, but on the flipside I should be happy as it's one of his better efforts.

One final thing, it gets merit for actually feeling fun, as opposed to "Wake Me Up" and "Hey Brother" the folk and country inspired tracks by Avicii. The latter is dire and the complete opposite of fun, while the other one is a little fun but doesn't quite get there enough for me to enjoy it (although is getting closer to being enjoyable).Last edited: 30.01.2014 01:38

Both these artists are terrible, but I can handle this. Good to hear Pitbull back to his regular rapping (first to take advantage of that whole Miley Cyrus stripping thing in a rap song I've heard so far).

Otherwise, it sort of feels like these two were forced to do a song together for the sake of the concerts they'll be doing together later this year in Australia. Just my opinion.

****Ummm, the instrumental sounds similar to Wake Me Up? Also did it really take 10 people to write those lyrics, wtf? However I do like the song, it's instantly catchy, but could get annoying very quickly.

****Oh god! I hate Pitbull and his awful "rapping" a whole lot, but this song is so god damn catchy, and probably the best song he's released, well, ever! I'm trying to just see this as a Ke$ha song because I only really enjoy the chorus and the harmonica. Can already tell this country vibe is going to be kicking off in a lot more tracks in the next few months. Thanks Avicii!

*****Oh gosh, I previewed this on iTunes a little while back and knew I was in trouble because of the chorus, and yeah, I like this. It's not Pitbull's best (Give Me Everything ftw!) however it's possibly the best HE has done on a track.Last edited: 14.03.2018 00:09

***This song is pretty trashy. Like, you know that really overused and awful word on this site that can die in a fire and stop being endeared and being used to constitute writing an actual review, because it's treated as a funny catchphrase? This is the sort of thing that the awful word could be used to describe, rather than any random old thing.

I find that a lot of people say that Ke$ha salvages this song with her hook. I disagree, because I find the hook a bit boring. What actually draws me into this somewhat bizarrely is Pitbull. The song is pretty cheesy but he makes it work for him, the pre-chorus I never unhear as 'swing your pocket round and round' is immensely catchy. Though it obviously has to be said that it's annoying when an artist you had hoped was going away manages to pull out another big hit, but alas.

And yeah, I would rather listen to "All Summer Long" than see that AWFUL, AWFUL word again in a review, so please, no more. 3.2

****Ke$ha's best in a few years. It's amazing that a song featuring so much harmonica is enjoyable to me. Hearing that can usually get to be torturous after a while.The beat is the backbone of the song and does improve the overall enjoyment. Only for the occasional listen for me however. 4.3*

**Everything about this reeks TRASH! but I wouldn't want to upset Hijinx now :p

Anyway it's another big miss for Pitbull again and well Ke$ha she adds her quailty skankyness to it and pulls it down.Everything from the country kinda twang to the repeated use of Timber is very annoying>All I can picture is a bunch of loggers dancing around like in that Simpson's episode where Homer takes Bart to the steel works because he thinks Bart is gay, many laughs.

Pitbull is most of the time a brilliant EDM artist and still is one of my favorite artists currently. But by using an artist whose popularity not just in Australia but worldwide has plummeted in recent years was a bad move. Yes it did peak at #4, but their joint tour got cancelled apparently due to low ticket sales. Why? It's because of Pitbull is touring with an artist with ever-decreasing popularity and some doubt that she can actually sing (she sounds like she can but Auto-Tune people). And don't try to copy Wake Me Up.Last edited: 27.03.2014 06:01

*****Great! I actually enjoy Pitbull for once and of course Ke$ha's effort really appeals to me even if this sound is tiring. Nice to see that it had longevity on the charts.Last edited: 29.11.2014 07:10
